Sabans smirk was priceless when Les was talking... And MFBATR was laughing!!

It was kind of odd considering Richardson has fewer yards, fewer yards per carry, and fewer touchdowns than Montee Ball.

 

[tideguy]

He plays in a REAL conference though! With defenses geared to stop him!!

Rack up one for Barrett Jones!

They should rename this the Bama and LSU award show...

...and has performed much worse against better teams. Richardson has had a very good season, but Montee has been the best running back in America.

You do realize this hurts your argument right? 40% of his rush yards and 60% of his touchdowns came against Ga Southern, North Texas, Kent State, Ole Miss and Tennessee. Compare that to Ball who only got 30% of his rush yards and 34% of his touchdowns against the worst 5 teams on their schedule (South Dakota, NIU, UNLV, Oregon State, and Indiana).

That's funny, because Richardson had 4.3 YPC against one of those "weak" B1G defenses. Montee had 6.2 YPC and 45 more yards against them, and Penn State was stacking the box the whole game to stop him.

Richardson is the best running back in the country hands down. Ball is a damn good running back, but he doesn't have the power that Richardson has.

 

[uncfan103]

Your argument for Trent being the best is extremely similar to why Alabama is the second best team in the country...no real reason, just cause he is.

 

[tideguy]

You do realize that Richardson barely played 3 qtrs in all of those games..

Trent is the best running back in the country, and obviously some others agree. Alabama is the #2 team, and obviously some others agree. People that actually matter, unlike you and me. If you don't like hearing that, your on the wrong board.

Shouldn't you be on the basketball forums? What business does a NC fan have talking about football?

Stats dont mean everything

Just because ball has better stats doesn't make him better.
Even if I wasn't a bama fan I would take Trent over him any day.

Cool story bro, i guess ill just have to wait and watch as NFL teams fight over who can take Ball over Richardson in the first round.

Regardless of how many quarters Richardson played he benefited a lot more by playing crappy opponents than Montee Ball did. Ball gained fewer yards and got fewer of his touchdowns against crappy teams. Its not like im saying something completely illogical like UNC has a better defense than Alabama. Im saying that Richardson is less productive than Ball...which is true.

Stats are great and all, Trent just blows Ball away on the eye test.

Nobody else in the country runs with the combination of speed, strength, and intensity that Richardson runs with.

is that the same eye test that says Alabama is better than Ok State?

You see here is where some of you guys are wrong, you are arguing with Alabama fans....

^^ Yes, don't argue with us.
